The cause of IBS is not completely clear. It may however be linked to stress related chemicals in the body responsible for the fight or flight mechanism. As these chemicals put the body on 'red alert' the digestive system naturally goes into a low gear or even shut down. Eating when the digestive system is in shut down can begin to manifest the above symptoms.

IBS can be divided into mild, moderate and severe symptoms. Usually once you are experiencing moderate to severe symptoms you will find you life interrupted and difficult patterns emerge.

Often laxative or pharmaceuticals maybe used to curb the polarities of IBS swings. Unfortunately these may entrench and cause deeper issues.

How Hypnotherapy helps

Hypnotherapy is an excellent intervention for IBS.

A recent clinical study at Manchester University showed tangible results within twelve weeks*. 70% of the participants received substantial or total relief. There are specific clinical procedures that alleviate symptoms and reduce the internal stress that causes IBS.

Practising techniques negotiated in therapy sessions very quickly begins to turn this response right down inducing a physiological change that balances the digestive system.

This allows the digestive system to begin to 'unfreeze' and process food at a normal pace, reducing the symptoms.

Clinical hypnotherapy is a quick, drug free solution that will have some very beneficial side effects. Clinical Hypnotherapy is a powerful, safe and fast tool in the right hands. Look at How Hypnotherapy Works for a jargon free explanation of this process.
